WIP progrress report

Ok so here is the progress I made today. Doesn't look like much I know but if you look you can see the amount I have done.



Here is a closer look at on of the individual heart on the banner. You can see the little flowers in there that are purple. They are almost the same colour as the fabric. I still have to put some beads on here which I think are going to be a perl grey colour. Well that is the plan at the momment. I wrote down the list of materials I am using but that is upstairs.



About two weeks ago I got this early birthday present from my parents. It is a Daylight lamp not an Ott lamp. So far it has helped at night and on dull days. I think it will really help when I do my angel on black.

New WIP

OK so this is not a picture of my current WIP but I could not resist this as she was sleeping quietly while I stitched.Isn't she cute in her new collar??



Here is my current WIP. It is the Welcome Hearts banner from Victoria Sampler. I will put a list of what materials I am using tomorrow if I remember. This picture is as of 11:30 this morning.



So I have worked quiet a bit on this today and this is what I have accomplished by 4:30 pm. I am hoping to get another good chunk done tomorrow as well.



I almost shot this little fart today as she kept stealing my cottons. She thought they were great play toys.

Done Done Done

Well almost three months and it is finally done. Tonight I have dinished my angel on ruby wine. The material colour does not show very well but you get the idea. I am now griding my Sangria to do the Welcome banners on. This material was from Annette in an ESC hand dyed-fabric exchange. Can't wait to see how they will turn out. I have enough material to do two of them on one piece. Hope to have the out line of one done by the weekend.



I haven't put up a picture of Lucy in awhile so I took this one tonight. She is now 7 1/2 months old and a supper suck. Anytime I go out she sits at the back door and cries and bawls cause I am gone. Another family member has to get her and cuddle her still she settles down. What a baby.

Here she decided my foot tasted good.

One WIP done

Yep Friday I finished my Cherry Blossom Biscornu with the help of my niece. She helped me stuff the biscornu and passed the beads while I did the sewing. I am glad I did the back and the front different as there were not the right amount of beads to do them both the same. I like them different anyway. Makes them more unique.





Ok so now I just have to finish the angel on the ruby wine material. I don't have a picture of that update but should have it all done by tomorrow. I don't have alot left to do.

What to work on next?

New WIP and a progress

Ok so here is a picture of my newset wip. It is kinda hard to see since it is pale colours but it is Cherry Blossoms Biscornu by The Sweetheart Tree. Tge pictures of this will be kinda lousey even when done as it is on an irredecent material.



I understand afew of you are "dying" to see my angel on the Ruby Wine material. So ok here are some progress pictures. She should be finished this week.





Here it is finished incase you were wondering.



In my last post I put a picture of the biscornu I did for a contest. Well the picture was not all that great so I got a "professional" to take one for me. Well ok it was my dad (who did professional photography at one time). So here is the better one.



I will say who it is for after they have been judged.

I have been busy stitching, gardening, playing with my niece and Lucy. Have had a busy month of doctor appointments. Tomorrow will be 3 months since I had my pacemaker replaced. I have been feeling pretty good. Working out at the gym twice a week and finished bowling last week. Guides will be winding down next week for the summer not soon enough. I had to go have my pacemaker read for the first time since it was changed. Well the good news is that I have had no episodes since June 20, 2008 ( that will be 11 months on Wednesday).

Here are some more of the little angels. I still have to put the bows, hangers and beads on them and then they are finished. The material was a gift from Beth.




This pattern was from a Just Cross Stitch Chirstmas Issue 2003 (I think). Not sure yet how to finish them off. Any suggestions??

This one is done in 3042 DMC 8 Perel cotton, Beads are Mill Hill Bugle 6mm #70123 and the seed beads are 02024.




This is the same pattern using Ecru DMC Perel cotton. These beads are Mill Hill bugle beads 72012 and seed beads are 02012.



And the last one is DMC Perel cotton 8 # 316. Mill hill beads are 02082 and 70123 .




Here are a few more diamonds that need hangers and tassels on them then they will be done.



Ok well Lucy has now decided what is hers is hers and what is Gaby's is Lucy's too. This originally was Gaby's bed and our old cat Amber would sleep in there if Gaby wasn't. But Gaby will curl up and go to sleep and Lucy decides that it is really big enough for the two of them. You be the judge.



Thought you might like to see what I have to contend with most of the time using the computes. This is part of the reason I have not been on quite as much. Kinda hard to see the screen through a cat.

Bad day at the Office

Enough said.

WIP and more

Ok as promised here is pictures of what I have been working on lately. The three down the one side will have beads on them. I just have a pile of cutting and wrapping to do now. Yeah so much fun. NOT



Here is the angel I did before only on the Ruby Wine material.


Every morning we have to read the newspaper with dad. Of course we have to be educated.


I think this is so precious. See we do get along sometimes. Gaby and Lucy.


Did you call me?

Well Finally a post

OK well I was surprised to see how long it was between posts. I don't have any pictures of my work lately. I have been working somewhat on my hardanger. But really haven't had much interest in doing it.

We had our first craft show of the season last week-end. It was an ok show. It was a nice day so most people were out working in their gardens. My garden is coming along nicely with daffodils, crocuses, hyacinth's, lenten roses and much more. I will try and get some pictures of the garden on here soon. I have alot to do in there with moving plants and adding things and general clean up.

I have been doing ok since my surgery two months ago. I have had a few issues but nothing much. I go in two weeks for my post surgery check so we shall see what the verdict is then.

Lucy is now 5 months old and still the little bugger as usual. She has now learned if you sit on the floor and jump you can grab peoples butts and hang on. That wont be continuing for much longer.

Here is a picture of the little brat.


I have some others on my camera that I will add later.

New finish

Of there has to be a picture of LUcy or it just wouldn't be a post. This one ws taken today in my bedroom.



Ok well here is the finished project. This is the little girl I was working on. I finished her tonight. Just like the red one it is a childs turtleneck.





Next I will be doing some more angels in the three different sizes. This time they will be on pink cloth. Hope to start them tomorrow. Will post pictures as I progress.
